Chapter 169: A Special Way to Travel

The result of the communication was that the director of "Our Travel" highly endorsed Director Liu's proposal.

As it happened, the location for the next episode had not yet been finalized, and the viewership ratings for the edited version were steadily increasing, with the second half of the second episode already broadcast. Barring any unexpected circumstances, future ratings were bound to climb even higher.

When Director Liu put forward this suggestion, the director of "Our Travel" pondered it for a moment before making an immediate and decisive ruling.

First, live-streaming variety shows were gradually rising in popularity, forcing them to innovate.

Second, travel variety shows had proliferated, creating a potential risk of aesthetic fatigue among viewers.

Third, while reality shows were plentiful, none had ever truly followed and live-streamed a celebrity's life for twenty-four hours straight. Fans would undoubtedly be enthusiastic supporters, and even ordinary people were bound to be intensely curious about what a celebrity was like behind the scenes.

Many stars declined to participate in variety shows largely because the reality of their true personalities contrasted too sharply with their public personas. If there were a twenty-four-hour observational program like this, the viewership rates would undoubtedly skyrocket.

Once Director Liu and his team finalized the plan, they wasted no time in having Yun Fu and the production crew prepare, as the shooting for the next episode was scheduled for the coming week.

"Our Travel" released a post on Weibo:

[A brand-new approach, a brand-new journey. Make sure to lock onto our live broadcast room this Saturday.]

Viewers immediately began to speculate in the comments.

[A brand-new approach? Could it be that roughing it on a budget trip is turning into a luxury trip? No way, right?]

[Why do I smell a hint of conspiracy? The production team must be up to something again.]

[I can't wait! I've already re-watched the edited version three times. Hurry up and start the live stream!]

[Today is only Monday. Ah! How am I supposed to survive until Saturday?!]

Amidst the eager anticipation of the crowd and the nervous apprehension of several guests, Saturday slowly arrived.

Yun Fu had been informed by Qiao An yesterday that the production crew's filming team would arrive early this morning to record.

However, she hadn't expected them to show up just past six o'clock in the morning.

"Teacher Yun, good morning! Did you rest well?"

Cooperating, Yun Fu wore a dazed expression; in truth, she was indeed a bit bewildered, as she had just been preparing to go out for a morning jog.

[Ahhhhh, a critical hit from this peerless beauty! Baby, Mama is here!]

[Is Xiao Fu-er makeup-free? She is so gorgeous! I'm feasting my eyes while eating breakfast, this is amazing!]

[The production team is so ruthless, starting the live stream this early? Hahaha, fortunately it's Saturday and I don't have to work.]

The staff members looked at Yun Fu's expression, nodded with satisfaction, and then explained, "Teacher Yun, the destination for our trip this time is yourself. That means, aside from when you are sleeping, we will follow and live-stream your life for these three days and two nights, allowing the viewers to experience a unique journey alongside you."

The audience was stunned, but Yun Fu's expression remained unchanged.

[A twenty-four-hour live-streamed follow?! Holy crap! So exciting!]

[In other words, whatever our baby does these next few days, we tag along? Damn, how blissful!]

[Open and blatant voyeurism? I love it!]

[What kind of divine production team is this? I love this trip!]

Compared to Yun Fu's calmness, the reactions of the other guests were somewhat more dramatic.

First was He Fang. Though initially inclined to refuse when informed, he was a seasoned veteran who had spent decades in the entertainment industry; he quickly regained his composure and readily accepted.

Next was Gu Haoyuan. He did not refuse, though he furrowed his brow tightly before finally giving a nod of assent.

Mu Bai was famously carefree, and true to form, he waved his hand without a moment's hesitation and said whatever was fine by him.

The person whose expression fluctuated the most was undoubtedly Xi Rou'er.

She harbored secrets. While normal recording sessions were manageable, a twenty-four-hour follow-up lasting three days and two nights genuinely terrified her with the prospect of uncontrollable variables.

The production team was still waiting for her reply, and the viewers in the live stream inevitably began to discuss it.

[The other guests all agreed. What is she hesitating about?]

[Could it be that she's completely different behind the scenes?]

[Shut up, upstairs! If you're so well-informed, are you Xi Rou'er yourself?!]

[If her conscience is clear, why doesn't she just agree readily like the others?]

During the moments of Xi Rou'er's hesitation, her fans and other netizens broke out into a quarrel.

Naturally, after hesitating for a little while, Xi Rou'er ultimately agreed.

Thus, the live broadcast of this special journey officially commenced.

After accepting the live recording with equanimity, Yun Fu closed her bedroom door and walked outside.

[Where is Yun Fu going so early? The crew hasn't started filming yet, right?]

[Yun Fu is wearing sportswear; she must be going for a morning jog.]

[No way. That wasn't shown in any of the previous live broadcasts.]

[She probably knows it's a live follow-up and is intentionally putting on a show.]

At that moment, a member of the production team chimed in quietly, "I originally thought we'd manage to dodge filming Teacher Yun's morning run, but I never expected we wouldn't escape it after all."

As soon as these words were spoken, the mocking accusations that Yun Fu was faking it instantly vanished.

In truth, Yun Fu's fans were also quite curious about their idol's daily routine; during regular show recordings, they always felt as though a barrier separated them, preventing them from seeing the true reality.

With this live broadcast now underway, virtually all of her fans chose to tune in.

Watching the live broadcast room draw an increasing number of viewers, the director of "Our Travel" reaffirmed his decision.

It had been the absolute right choice.

Yun Fu's life was not significantly disrupted. She woke up early for a morning jog, returned to have breakfast, changed her clothes, went straight to makeup, and began filming promptly at eight o'clock.

[I suddenly realized how well-planned Yun Fu's life is. While I can't completely rule out the possibility of staged filming, it seems like every single minute of her schedule is precisely calculated.]

[It shouldn't be staged; those staff members look completely accustomed to it, not like something practiced for a day or two.]

[I suddenly feel so decadent. She films every day and is still this disciplined.]

[No wonder her skin is so good, and her figure is so stunning.]

[Being an actress must not be easy at all.]

Compared to Yun Fu, the other three male guests offered little basis for comparison. The only comparable subject was Xi Rou'er.

When the live stream started, Xi Rou'er also woke up early to exercise, followed by eating and working.

However, viewers who watched the broadcast continuously and began to draw comparisons couldn't shake a strange feeling.

[It feels a bit off, I just don't know how to describe it.]

[Same here, I feel it too.]

[Is it too perfect...? I just came over from Yun Fu's stream, and I always feel Yun Fu is extremely natural, whereas over here... it feels like she's acting.]

[Ahem, my bro upstairs, you shouldn't just blurt things out like that.]

Despite this, those viewers who had sensed something amiss began to review the footage more carefully.

Indeed, Xi Rou'er's performance was excessively flawless.

First, when she woke up for her morning exercise, her sportswear and shoes appeared remarkably pristine and new.

Although her makeup was not heavy, one could still tell she wore a light layer—specifically, the trendiest "effortless bare-face" look.

Furthermore, when she ate breakfast, despite her expressions of enjoyment, it failed to evoke any matching appetite in the audience.
